Jul 1, 2025July 2025 monthly summary for mozilla/pontoon: Delivered API development environment readiness, improved data visibility, and a critical admin stats bug fix. Key features delivered: - Dependency and environment readiness for API development and deployment: Move DRF from development to default requirements and conditionally install development dependencies in post_compile when DJANGO_DEV is true to support staging/production workflows. Commits: 28ad0ef327d451b5ba1e8d353d6a2f781e812278; 41337e745efe19f8daa8c64d8cacb9a43ecf718f (#3695,#3696). - API visibility enhancement: Exclude disabled and system projects from endpoints by updating serializers to fetch only visible project locales and using Prefetch with visible() for ProjectLocale objects, yielding cleaner, more relevant API responses. Commit: ea6180acc9b9cf2987ae6c9ef7a318ac021b6bd6 (#3725). - Admin statistics retrieval bug fix: Replace stats_data() with stats_data_as_dict() to correctly retrieve and display project statistics. Commit: 012d7fdde1b1356c94250075ded7d005112e50b5 (#3697). Overall impact and accomplishments: - Improved environment parity across development, staging, and production, reducing deployment frictions and enabling reliable API development workflows. - Cleaner API surface by ensuring only visible projects/locales are returned, improving data relevance for clients and dashboards. - Fixed admin dashboards to accurately reflect project statistics, reducing risk of misleading metrics. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Django and Django REST Framework, serializer refactoring, and queryset optimization (Prefetch + visible()) - Environment and dependency management for multi-stage deployments - CI/CD hygiene and traceability through commit-level changes.
